Misunderstanding (II)

Xu Weibei: A close female friend?

He thought about it and realized that this matter should perhaps be left to Qin Lie.

My First Concubine has been through this before, but it seems she's about to give birth now?

Not quite right.

Second Concubine is currently unmarried, Fourth Concubine has gone far away to the border, so it seems that only Third Concubine remains.

She's suitable.

She was a doctor, and she was also exchanging flirtatious glances with Gu Lao San.

Xu Weibei even knew that his Third Concubine had been with a man before.

In that case, she is the most suitable person to do it.

Thinking of this, Xu Weibei went directly to see his Third Concubine.

The Third Concubine was somewhat surprised to see him, but quickly returned the greeting with a composed expression.

When Xu Weibei saw her, he suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation.

Matters between husband and wife are so intimate that it's difficult to talk about them with others.

However, he still steeled himself and said, "Madam seems somewhat resistant to matters between men and women. You, you go and talk to her."

If it were someone else, they would be somewhat surprised and would overthink it.

After all, Xu Weibei was impotent, so what romantic relationships could he possibly have?

But the Third Concubine was no ordinary person.

She was more open-minded about sex than others, and she had even... done it.

So she misunderstood.

"Yes, Your Marquis," she readily agreed, "I know what to do."

Xu Weibei was still considering how to explain further, but it turned out that he didn't need to at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually blushed too.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Xu Weibei felt a little embarrassed after saying that, but he wouldn't take advantage of someone for nothing. "I've heard about what happened between you and Gu Lao San. If you're worried about your status, I can adopt you as my sworn sister and give you a grand wedding."

"Thank you, Your Marquis. I will discuss this matter with my wife later."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Xu Weibei waved his hand. "No need to see me off. Think about what your wife says."

"Yes."

Xu Weibei was restless for the next few days, and even asked Gu Wanning, "Did Hua Ying come to see you today?"

After being asked once, Gu Wanning didn't seem to think anything of it.

But when he asked a second time, Gu Wanning couldn't help but ask, "Why is Hua Ying looking for me?"

Xu Weibei: "... It's nothing."

No way!

Gu Wanning didn't believe it.

There's definitely something they're hiding from her.

Xu Weibei acting really strange lately.

Could it be that he secretly went to see his Third Concubine for medical treatment?

Otherwise, he would never bring up other women on his own initiative.

Chapter 294 Misunderstanding (Part Two)

Unable to get any answers from Gao Lan, Gu Wanning could only ask her Third Concubine.

Just as she was about to go find her, her Third Concubine unexpectedly came to find her.

"Did you just get back from a house call?" Gu Wanning asked with a smile, looking at her carrying a large medicine box. She then invited her to sit on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). "The snow outside is still quite thick, isn't it? I didn't want to go out."

She wished she could stay on the kang (heated brick bed) and eat hot pot every day.

"No," the Third Concubine placed her medicine box beside the kang (heated brick bed), "I came to talk to you for a while."

Er Ya poured her a steaming cup of tea. "This is for the girl. After drinking it, her periods have become much more regular."

Third Concubine smiled and said, "That's good. Er Ya, you go out first, I have something to say to my sister."

"Alright, you two talk slowly. I'll go help Madam with the cooking."

After watching her leave, the Third Concubine went and bolted the door again to prevent Yiling from barging in recklessly.

"What kind of treasure is this for me? Why are you being so mysterious?" Gu Wanning asked curiously, peeking into the medicine box.

Third Concubine, unsuspecting, readily opened her medicine chest and said, "Don't blush yet. It's human nature; there's nothing to hide. What's rare is that even though the Marquis himself is impotent, he still considers your needs. Because of this, I have to think much more highly of the Marquis; he's far better than those selfish men."

Gu Wanning: I suggest you reorganize your words.

Is what you're saying something I can understand?

Is this something she can hear?

She's still so innocent!

Gu Wanning slammed the medicine box shut.

Where's the water?

Where is the water?

She needs to wash her eyes.

"Hua Ying, although I don't object to what you did, I really didn't think of it. With my personality, if I wanted to, I definitely wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. You should leave quickly, take these things with you and leave. What will the Marquis think when he sees this!"

Gu Wanning pushed her Third Concubine away.

"Sister, it wasn't me, it was the Marquis! The Marquis sent me!" the Third Concubine quickly explained. "This is the Marquis's way of showing his appreciation to you."

Gu Wanning:???!!

What exactly are you guys up to?

Is this kind of "deep affection" meant to humiliate me to death?

She doesn't want to!

When Gu Wanning heard from her Third Concubine that Xu Weibei had asked her to find her, she froze.

Where exactly did she show that she was so eager for that thing?

Was it because she hugged him first?

Xu Weibei misunderstood; he definitely misunderstood.

But how do I even begin to discuss this topic?

Gu Wanning is going crazy.

She oversimplified things.

She thought that after she had spoken openly with him several times, this wouldn't become an obstacle to their future life together.

However, at present, Xu Weibei's "inner demons" are simply out of control.

Help!

Gu Wanning naturally refused to accept her Third Concubine's "kindness," despite the latter's repeated advice that she shouldn't be shy and should face her body's needs.

Gu Wanning: No, thank you, but I advise you not to do anything reckless.

Can't everyone just act normal?

The Third Concubine returned empty-handed and told Xu Weibei that she couldn't help.

She said, "My Marquis, why don't we let the young lady do whatever she wants? I think she might actually be doing just fine the way she is now."

Xu Weibei waved her away, feeling so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
